@EkleRuth @beherleader Tell him it's not justified. If he doesn't trust her, that's understandable, but it doesn't give him the right to restrict her movements or isolate her. That is still red flags for abuse. Either they work on rebuilding trust, or he needs to leave.

@Nearbinladen @akhivae Chess is the only potential outlier in that lineup, but it depends heavily on the level. And a lot of advanced chess is about memorizing board arrangements and movement sequences, not actual logic.

@Tibbzzee @Ken67547214 Depends on whether the home needs $100k+ in renovations first. Most starter homes are cheaper b/c they come with significant built-in expenses.

@Math_files 🤣 Her: Doing calculus, getting straight A's.
Him: Doing high school math and sudoku, and still insisting he's more logical and intellectually superior.
Sounds right.

@abdul_now This actually IS the original meaning of 'Son of God'! King Solomon was also called Son of God in the Old Testament. To the Jews, it meant, "One specially favored by God." My theory is the Romans, coming from paganism, mistook it to be literal and warped the story of Jesus/Isa.

@chandrika92 @quachelsey Then you are in an abusive environment and you should find a way to leave.

@pietomaton @allie__voss How are your suggestions less "cosplay"? If you're able to walk for 10+ min, using a wheel chair will decondition you & make POTS worse. The difficulty is more w/standing stationary for long periods, not w/ walking, b/c contracting calves help return blood to the heart.

@jlonga1 @allie__voss Any virus! Also vaccines. The HPV vaccine caused so many debilitating cases in young women that the pattern was undeniable. There was a 2015 Danish documentary about it called The Vaccinated Girls - Sick and Abandoned, though you have to dig to find it now because of censorship.

@AlamusPrime @allie__voss Low BP. Hypo causes low BP, hyper causes high BP.

@draognjpeg @post_punk_dude I have a history degree. Between farming, hunting, and foraging, European peasants had a better diet (and teeth!) than most of us do today.

[LeafOnWater @LeafOnWater]

@AlamusPrime @allie__voss This is not universal. There are multiple underlying causes for POTS, e.g. hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency. I have POTS and have zero issues with propioception (balance and coordination). I just can't maintain sufficient blood pressure to be upright for long.

@TOAA_SA @floatingwordist That is not less vague. Do you mean as in the value of labor a wife provides went up, so culture became more restrictive/stigmatizing towards divorce to keep women from leaving and taking her labor with her?

@urarabm0m @ArchonAvalon Look up 'ruqyah.' It's nearly identical to some Appalachian granny magic, only using Qur'an verses for healing and protection instead of Bible verses. Granny magic was brought over from Ireland & Scotland in the 1600s, so you know that's untouched by new-age/maybe-satanist magic.

@millerthedoer B/c their circadian rhythm isn't screwed up like ours are. They go to sleep at sunset, as we should, and wake up at sunrise, as we should.

@ArsAlendi @lisatomic5 A lot has been made of phytoestrogens, but there is better evidence for higher dietary iodine from eating more seafood and seaweed! You can paint iodine over breast and ovarian cysts to shrink them, and iodine deficiency is linked to breast cancer. US RDA only prevents goiter.
